Suranne Jones has reportedly found herself at the centre of a fake pornographic picture scam.

Following her return to the small screen this month in the hit drama, Doctor Foster, the 39-year-old actress' fame has been taken advantage of by internet crooks, according to the Daily Star .

Scammers are said to have photoshopped the former Corrie star's head onto a number of female porn stars bodies, with the images then uploaded to a site advertising webcam strippers, escorts and 'sexy local girls'.

The publication claims that some of the pictures show Suranne, flashing her boobs and bum on a girls night out with her friends years ago, but most are the superimposed pictures which the actress has no connection with at all.

Speaking to the paper a source explained: "Suranne would be horrified at the stuff that is linked to her name.

"Sadly, that’s the nature of the internet these days.”

The actress, who gave birth to her first child just months before production began, recently revealed how she'd got back into shape for the drama.

Explaining that the scene in question was shot just six months after welcoming her first son with husband Laurence Akers, Suranne told The Independent: "Gemma takes her clothes off at some point and I'd just had a baby. So planking helped."
